South Korea vs Ghana – Form and Team News
South Korea earned a point in their introductory match in the World Cup. They played without goals against Uruguay, one of the favourites to advance, and can safely say that they played above their expectations. But the game itself was not interesting to watch from a fan’s perspective as it is the first match in history that ended without a direct shot on goal from both sides.
Meanwhile, Ghana played one of the most thrilling matches of the competition. We were in for another game without goals until the 65th minute when Cristiano Ronaldo coveted a penalty and brought Os Navegadores into the lead.
However, not long after, Andre Ayew posed a shock and levelled the score at 1:1. Portugal then shifted into gear and scored two rapid-fire goals as youngsters Joao Felix and Rafael Leao made it 3:1. But this was not the end, as Osman Bukari gave Ghana a little bit of hope with his goal in the 89th minute of the game. Unfortunately, that was all the Black Stars could do and three points went to Portugal.
